When a player takes fortune die 'open career advances', it says you can add a fortune die to one of the primary characteristics listed on his career sheet.
The question is, do they have to be from each, or can the character advance one of them twice?
For example, if a Pit Fighter has 2 fortune die advances and his primary characteristics are Strength and Toughness, can he take 2 Toughness fortune dice? Or does he have to take one of each?
He can purchase both on one of them yes.
I did house rule it to be like Skill Training, limiting it at 1 per Attribute per Rank. But for Career as the Commoner (3 Fortunes possible), i also allowed to put the Fortune on any Attribute. You avoid that way the guy(s) that put all on a single stat munchkin
My question would be, if he took a fortune die advance on Toughness, does that also apply to damage? IE If he has a T of 3 and one fortune die advance, does he absorb 4 points of damage or just 3? And does this apply to Strength and combat as well?

No.
Soak and Damage rating are computated only from characteristic dice.
Even if you play a limit of 1 fortune max per rank in the same characteristic, you can end up with 3 fortunes in a single charac at rank 3 after 3 careers.
Can't find anything in the rules against that (and that's fine by me).
But the thing is, I haven't seen any creature (or NPC) in the rules with more than 1 fortune in any charac.
